Mysterious deathedit
On 18, 19 or 20 October,[a] 1986, Niazi's personal chef went to wake him up and serve him breakfast and newspapers, employed to do so since 1970. Chef was surprised to find the door locked, no one answered the knock and the chef presumed that the director was tired as he was in work for a film at the time so he left. After returning from his day job, he entered the door using a spare key obtained by Niazi's sister, Hajjah Zainab Mostafa where he nearly fainted at the sight of the director lying in a pool of his own blood wearing a white robe, his hands were tied behind his back and a cloth stuffed into his mouth while the veins of his hands were cut. On 16 January 1987 the prosecutor could not find evidence against any specific person and decided to preserve the investigation.[9][10][11]
Personal lifeedit
Niazi was married twice, first to his studio colleague at the editing department, named Najia Ibrahim Belal or Tahia Ibrahin Belal, an actress better known by her stage name Kouka, or Koka who was famous for playing the role of a Bedouin girl and starred in films such as Rabha (1945), Wedad (1936) and Mughamarat Antar wa Abla (1948). She was known as "The Egyptian Cinema Abla", dubbed "African Princess" by newspapers and most fondly remembered as the first Egyptian Actress to reach the world. She was born on March 7, 1917, in Cairo Governorate and also born to a Sudanese Father like Niazi while her mother was Egyptian Arab Native. The pair were married after what is considered one of the most famous love stories in the artistic community, although she could not birth any children after 4 years of marriage and thus agreed to have Niazi marry a second wife which was handpicked by her, choosing a dancer Nemat Mukhtar. Niazi however chose to leave Ne’mat Mukhtar after a month and returned to his first wife Kouka, whom he described as the love of his life and stuck by her as she was diagnosed with malignant cancer, passing away on 29 January 1979 in Alexandria aged 62 with Niazi by her side.[12][13][14]
